Soldiers and Police.

evening the mayor issued a proclamation
requesting all citiZents to remain at home
and to avoid all gatherings, and cautioned

organization of the exasperated peo-

advocate lynching, was being made.
About 500 men gathered in front Of
LeiderkranZ hall, on Market street. The,
janitor refused them admission to the hall,
and the meeting adjourned to hall neal

whose sentiments were known, and who.
it was believed, would join an organized
effort to lynch the negroes, were selected.
1t was determined to meet at 10 O'clock
tomorrow at the court house. These men
appeared to be in dead earnest, and trouble
is looked for tomorrow. Despite tha
mayors proclamation, however, tonight
the squares about the Jail are .denselE
packed with men. The police have BEEN;
able to clear the street for about
half square east and west of,
the prison, but beyond these limitsi

sardines, and no effort so far has been made
to disperse them. Two companies Of miIi-'

at any moment from the armOry, some five
squares away. On Market street crowd

A rril i'll
Donnelly, tax commissioners of New York,
have been formally charged before Mayor
Hewitt with neglecting to make proper as
sessments. The amounts of property
owned by the Vanderbilt estate. the New
York Central Railroad company, and the
various city railway companies, aggregating
$50, 149. 900, are set out in detail. The
charges allege that in all these cases the
sworn returns of the corporations
disclose the existence Of the accessible
property. and that Coleman and Donnelly,
acting in concert as the majority of the
board, against the protests of Commissioner
Feitner, neglected to make the lawful
assessment. In the case of the Hudson
River Railroad company, the return of the.
company showed $s,075, s44 On which no

The Arizona Prain Robbery:
BENSON, Ariz.. April 29.-Intelligenca
has been received that the train robbers
have been spotted. and it will be only
question of time before they will be cap
tured. The officers do not wish to make
an immediate arrest for fear of insufficient
evidence. United States Marshal Meade
has telegraphed to the mail authorities at
Washington urging them to offer an adj
ditional large reward which, il the request
is complied with. will almost insure their
capture and quick conviction. It is now
reported that special officer has been in
Elpaso for several days watching for this
occurrence to take place in that locality,
being forwarned by outsiders who got an
inkling of the fact that an attempt would
be made somewhere on the line of the road,
but the robbers took time by the forelock,
showing unusual sagacity in making the
raid in this vicinity where hardly any one
suspected such an affair would take place.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.-What is
considered an important clue to the identity
of the train robbers has been obtained. A
few weeks ago stranger purchased suit
of clothes at an establishment at the corner
of Post and Dupont streets, and in taking off
his old suit to put on the new one, a letter
dropped from his pocket. The latter was
found by the clerk after the purchasers
departure. 1t gave an elaborate descrip-
tion to an accomplice of plan to rob
train on the Southern Pacific road. The
confederate was instructed to get off the
train at Nogales. The epistle concluded
with these words: paint your face black
and be sure to cover your red hair" 1t
was signed ''Redie."
